Regarding reservation approval
The reservation system does not immediately book reservations; approval is required from the property.

If there are more guests than originally booked, or if guest information has not been provided, we will be unable to accommodate you.
Once guests have provided their personal information and their reservation is complete, we will email them the PIN code to unlock the inn's front door, allowing them to skip the check-in process and enter the inn smoothly. Please also note that we have a security camera installed near the inn's entrance that records continuously to confirm the number of guests and to monitor the entry and exit of any suspicious individuals.
